The aim of this project is to better understand the dynamics and triggering mechanisms of mass movements in a changing climate.

This project deals with the statistical properties of multivariate hydrological extremes in the Alpine region, where water bodies are increasingly regulated by humans.
More specifically, it aims to create a data set on hydrologic extremes and human flow-influences
Large coherent vortices are easily distinguishable by human eye when looking at clouds in the sky or at the whirls of water in rivers and lakes. We develop coherent structure identification methods to detect these vortices and understand their role in mixing stratified flows in lakes and the ocean.
Large-scale coherent flow structures, termed superstructures (SSs), play a key role
